|
Abstract |
Spinal subdural hematoma (SDH) with intracranial subdural hemorrhage is a rare disease entity andspinal SDH may compress or irritate spinal cord, cauda eqiuna or spinal nerve roots. However, there arefew literatures that had showed nerve compromise by electrodiagnostic study. In our report, thirty-twoyears old man who had post-traumatic intracranial SDH complained lumbar radiculopathic symptoms andsigns 6 days after traffic accident, and spine magnetic resonance image (MRI) demonstrated spinal SDHextending from Ll to S1. Electromyography revealed left L5, Sl radiculopathies 4 weeks after the accident. |
